Daytona 500 – Daytona International Speedway

February 26th

The Great American Race starts off NASCAR’s season each year with a bang. Cars finally get to roll onto the track after teams prepared all offseason for NASCAR’s most prestigious race. This is the only regular season race each year where 40 drivers don’t care about points and winning is the only thing that matters.

NASCAR greats Earnhardt, Waltrip, Petty, Allison, and Gordon have all won the Daytona 500. One driver will have a chance put their name among these great drivers. Last year Denny Hamlin out-dueled Martin Truex Jr. in the closest Daytona 500 finish in history.

Who will hoist the Harley J. Earl trophy this year?
